MulzetN Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm slacking on this one - Meant to do it a long time ago. Sorry! 1988 Jeep Comanche 2.5L / AX15 / Transfercase? / Front axle? / Rear axle? / Wheelbase? Build date: (its on the driverside door sticker, in the form of month and year) - Will check this tomorrow. Current Location: Central Alberta, Canada. Status: On the road with only 106,000km. Notes: 5spd standard, blue exterior, light grey interior, armstrong steering, bench seat, oil drip behind the fuse box like the rest of them... This is the quintessential old man farm truck. Current owner: Me :) A young, foolish guy that thought "only 100,000km on it? What could go wrong?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Wow! That thing looks clean! Unless it was swapped in, you would have an AX-5, not an AX-15. What are the plans with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the plans with it? It is clean! Everything is stock as far as I can tell. AX-5 it is! My bad. The plan is to leave it as close to stock as I can and enjoy it. I'm thinking of making it into a camper build inside the box with some removable sections. I want to do a cross Canada trip this summer. I record nature sounds and mix them with synth to create ambient music and I thought it would be fun to record in every province and territory. The Comanche would let me get everywhere I want to go and cut down on costs by removing the need for hotels... Plus it's just a cool truck. I'll probably keep the Jeep around after that trip as a weekend driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MulzetN Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 My "little blue brick" made a trip from Jasper to Banff for it's birthday weekend along the Icefield Parkway. Definitely a little lackluster in power with the 2.5, but once you accept that you're not leaving 3rd on some of the climbs it becomes more bearable. You just have to accept the truck for what it is and laugh along the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulzetN Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 The box camper setup worked like a charm. Spent $33 and an hour dumpster diving at construction sites to get everything to build it. Bed on top, storage underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
